Linea SHIFU

A line of postural stabilizers composed of three models: AIR

for supine, EARTH for prone and OCEAN for supine/prone.

Each model is available in different sizes to suit the needs of

different ages, from children to teens to adults.

All models are manufactured with an easy to handle chassis.

The dimensions are designed to allow them to be used

even in narrow places or stowed away when not in use.

The particular shape of the base allows the caregiver to get

very close to the person or to bring the stabilizer as close

as possible to the bed or wheelchair, without any hindrance,

thanks to the height of the base (over 20 cm!) and to the

practical castor wheels with brakes.

Each stabilizer has an upholstered surface for supporting

the body; the inclination is gradually adjustable from the

horizontal to the vertical position and also in length to adapt

to the person’s size. The platform for the feet is adjustable

in height, foot separation, intra/extra rotation and flexion/extension

is independently adjustable.

In the three models in size 3, specifically for adults, the tilt adjustment is by means of a low voltage electric motor with

a remote hand control that allows the user to autonomously modify his position. Although it is designed for professional

use, its ease of use and compact dimensions make it ideal for the home too.

Summary of Features

1 Each model consists of functional modules, designed

to allow maximum customisation and to ensure

adequate support according to different rehabilitative

programmes.


2 The adjustments are easy and very fast to perform.


3 Each model is configured to ensure maximum functionality,

offering the proper support and pressure

where they are most needed to contain the user,

from the smallest child sizes to the largest adult

sizes (the Shifu size 3 max load up to195 kg!).


4 Plane inclination is smooth and jerk-free by means

of a gas spring operated by pedal or by an electric

motor in the size 3 model. The plane has a very

wide tilting range and allows steady movement

from the horizontal to the vertical position to

gradually arrive at full load on the lower limbs,

starting from complete unload. This wide tilting

range also facilitates positioning and access from

different aids.


5 The base is very stable and robust but also very

easy to handle thanks to its high load capacity

castor wheels (all models equipped with brakes)

allowing for fast movements, even with the person

already positioned on it.
